The Friesian Sporthorse is a Friesian crossbred of sport horse type. The ideal Friesian Sporthorse is specifically bred to excel in FEI-recognized sport horse disciplines. Thus, "sporthorse" refers to the phenotype, breeding, and intended use of these horses.〔(Breed Standard )〕 While some consider the Friesian Sporthorse as a breed 〔(Friesian Sporthorse registration guidelines )〕 and others consider the Friesian Sporthorse as a type,〔http://www.friesianheritage.com/General_Rules.htm〕 others sometimes use the term "Friesian Sport Horse" as a generic all-inclusive term to describe any Friesian crossbred. ==Bloodlines== Different registries have different standards that define what is considered to be a Friesian Sporthorse. One registry regards Friesian Sporthorses as a breed, with strict breeding requirements in addition to performance recognition. In this case, Friesians are crossbred primarily with warmbloods and Thoroughbreds, although limited percentages of American Saddlebred, draft and Arabian breeding are also acceptable into lower books of the studbook.〔 Other registries contend that "sporthorse" is a type, and rather than breed-specific requirements, they require that horses meet certain performance requirements before the registry will deem them a Friesian Sporthorse.〔http://www.friesianheritage.com/General_Rules.htm#Registration%20Designations%20&%20Divisions〕 Either way, the goal is to produce animals suitable for the sport disciplines of dressage, eventing, show jumping, and combined driving. Most registries agree that Friesian Sporthorses also must be a minimum of 25% Friesian.〔〔 Although the crossbreeding of Friesians with many different types and breeds is popular, it is worth noting that the resulting offspring are not always considered Friesian Sporthorses (see Friesian cross.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friesian Sporthorse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
